Kimi Work

Still a chat interface, so definitely not an "AI Desktop". Also this was released about a month ago https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/meta-ai/articles/moonshot-ais-kimi...

Could I use the browsing feature to search for land to buy? Or is there an easier way I’m overlooking? Hoping to find something on a creek with a Mountain View and fairly remote.

I have a UI I developed from first principles about 10 years ago, I use it to replace my os, its like my personal do everything emacs os but not at all emacs, and its funny to see other Uis iteratively convergence on it as context finally gets its due.

Is there a link anywhere for a docs site for this? Really curious to know what "deep data sources" they have set up for the Native Global Market Data feature.

The Pricing page shows all plans are sold out.

For the past 3 years, many software engineers were coping that AI (particularly LLMs) was only going after juniors. Given the documented history of mass layoffs related to AI from 2024 to today, it is clear that everyone including seniors and staff level folks are just as affected. So let's just say, if your whole identity is for being a typical software engineer no matter the seniority and nothing else, perhaps it is time for you to reconsider options as of course 100% avoiding AI is futile at this point. There will still be new jobs, but there will be no need for more excess people, even under Jevon's paradox. Software engineers were just the test bed for this and now there is an oversupply of SWEs without jobs in the market and will have to use AI tools like Kimi Work and Claude Cowork to be employable.

It rubs me the wrong way that they have to copy everything, the UI is almost exact copy of Codex. The entire mind set of just copy the best is holding them back.

Just wire in "teh cloud!!1" to your local files. What could go wrong?

cute_boi

No linux? They should ask k3 to add linux feature lol.

I wish they had some kind of US hosted option, NDR policy, or something like that. I love the price and power, but I have concerns around data sovereignty and leaking IP to an overseas company.

kimi has been particularly shameless in copying codex 1:1, wow. Like, I get it, before condex there was conductor and a ton of other guis but this looks like they just copied the code. Also, their privacy disclosure is incredibly misleading: > How does Kimi Work protect my privacy when accessing local files? You have absolute control over your files. The built-in Ask before acting safeguard means Kimi will prompt you for explicit authorization before it modifies, overwrites, or runs code within your local directories. Nothing happens without your consent. They fail to mention that is has unfettered read access to your files. ie, without your consent.

wow -- "Let's take something off your plate" just copied word-for-word from the Claude Cowork UI. And it is above the fold in their hero image!

Looks like this can use webBridge, run Python and shell code in the background. Cowork can take over application UI as well which is still a differentiator (and a higher security risk) unless kimi offers it elsewhere.

Pretty shameless copy, but also shows how easy it is to do so. OpenAI and Anthropic had first-mover advantage, but easy come, easy go.

If this is what pops this bubble, I'll take it!

this landing page looks like a cheap ripoff of google's antigravity: https://antigravity.google/

The Chinese marketing blitz is on! Ha ha Guess where the models are gonna be hosted? Hint, not China.

fHr

China copying shit blatantly haha but winning surely

gizmodo59

that looks exactly like the recent codex!

grandimam

Is there an opensource version of such a tool. I would really like a desktop app and use different models instead of a CLI.
